Description:
The Consumer Bankruptcy Clinic offers students the opportunity to advise and represent individuals in serious financial difficulty. This two-semester, four-credit course includes a classroom component, preparing the students to counsel clients about consumer bankruptcy and discussing important portions of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules.
The majority of the course involves actually representing clients in financial difficulty. This includes advising clients of their options, communicating with their creditors, and filing bankruptcy cases (either Chapter 7 or 13). Students will also have the opportunity to represent clients in adversary proceedings, including discovery and trial as well as settlement negotiations with both creditors and the U.S. Trustee. Occasionally, students represent individual creditors as well.
